Who can legally repair a radon mitigation system in Kentucky?
Kentucky law prohibits anyone from performing radon mitigation without proper certification. A mitigation contractor must complete a board-approved proficiency program and provide proof of general liability insurance to receive a registration certificate. Ask the pro for proof of certification and insurance before the repair.
How do I know if my radon mitigation system needs repair?
EPA guidance says a system that is not working properly may need repairs such as fan replacement. An active fan draws 100 to 300 watts continuously and adds about $30 to $300 per year to your energy bill, so a silent fan or a spike in radon levels are warning signs. Retest your home after any repair.
How quickly will radon levels drop after a repair?
After a working mitigation system is running, radon levels usually drop within 24 to 48 hours. Kentucky's radon office lists certified professionals who use approved remediation techniques. Verify any contractor through the state registry at radon.ky.gov or 502-782-2782.
What to do next
- Run a radon test in your home to confirm elevated levels before scheduling a repair.
- Verify the contractor's mitigation registration through the Kentucky radon office at radon.ky.gov or 502-782-2782.
- Ask for proof of certification and general liability insurance before work begins.
- Get an itemized quote showing whether the repair is a fan replacement ($200-$350) or a full system issue.
